Once upon a time, a kindly stranger sent us a lovely, well thought out email that recommended a big pile of music they wanted us to check out. Then we promptly ignored that email for months and months, not out of malice, but sheer laziness. In an effort to make amends, we made the decision to check out all of the music our dear friend Merrill wanted us to listen to, and now there's an entire episode dedicated to discussion of all that music. So get comfortable, because it's going to be a long and bumpy ride.

Here it is, Merrill. You're welcome.

What did you think of all the music we discussed in this veritable marathon of an episode? Tell us all about it by leaving a comment on the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) or sending us your very own email (CLICK HERE) chock full of musical recommendations that we might eventually tackle in a guilt-ridden episode! We've also got a poll on our latest post, since we couldn't come to consensus regarding a couple of Merrill's picks, so you really should visit the blog (CLICK HERE) and vote in that incredibly important poll. Don't let Merrill down, not like us!

We're also on Instagram (CLICK) and Threads (CLICK) if you want to follow us and join TRAPPO's social media revolution. It's gonna be a bloodbath!

Thanks for listening!

On this very special episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose, your hosts Dustin & Ky are discussing the latest epic release from the Queen herself, Cowboy Carter from Beyoncé!

So join us as we sell out!

Join the conversation! Tell us what you think about Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé's greater oeuvre, and why we should never talk about mainstream music again. Just CLICK HERE to visit the official TRAPPO blog and leave a dozen spiteful comments telling us that we're just embarrassing ourselves here and really need to pack it in.
